comes to the makeup aisles.
In theory, having a ton of cheap products in one place would make building an entire makeup kit from scratch easier. In reality, too many options can make it challenging to figure out what you really need.
We've eased the struggle (and hopefully streamlined your next Target haul) by cherry-picking the makeup essentials that every beginner needs.
Keep scrolling for all of the products from Target that a makeup newbie should have in their first kit.
Moisturizer
Using
moisturizer before reaching for your makeup will help your products go
on more smoothly. Neutrogena's quick-absorbing Hydro Boost Moisturizing
Gel is formulated with hyaluronic acid, which plumps lines and wrinkles
on top of hydrating skin.
Makeup-Setting Primer
The
reason your makeup always slides off your face is likely that you're
skipping primer. The often overlooked product preps skin for a smooth
makeup application and locks it all in place. Revlon's Photoready
Perfecting Primer has a slight pink tint that brightens skin, softening
the appearance of imperfections like dark spots and redness.
Foundation & Concealer
Start with a liquid concealer like Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer ($8; target.com).
This formula masks blemishes and redness, plus brightens up dark
under-eye circles. Follow up with the brand's Fit Me! Matte + Poreless
Foundation ($8; target.com).
Even though the formula is full-coverage, it's a solid starter
foundation because it blends effortlessly into skin while minimizing
pores for an overall smoother complexion.
Highlighter And Bronzer
A
highlighter and bronzer palette gives skin a healthy glow and will make
your facial features pop. Use the lighter shade in E.L.F. Studio's
Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder palette on the high planes of your
face, the contour along the hollows of your cheeks, and jawline.
Blush
When
you don't have time to go through the routine of applying highlighter
and bronzer, brushing blush on the apples of your cheeks is a quick
alternative. Opt for a formula with subtle shimmer like NYX's High
Definition Blush.
Lipstick
With
so many shades to choose from, L'Oreal Paris' Colour Riche Lip Color
makes it easy to build a collection of lipsticks for all of your moods.
Two staples to add to the mix: a nude like "Caramel Latte" and a true
red.
Makeup Sponge
A
makeup sponge is a multitasking tool that helps to seamlessly apply
foundation, concealer, blush, and more. Plus, you can use a damp sponge
to clean up any makeup mistakes. If you've put on too much blush or
bronzer, dilute the color by tapping the sponge over it.
